Alternative Site Testing
What is AST (Alternative Site Testing)?
Usually, when someone tests their glucose, they take the
blood sample from the tip of the finger. However, since there
are many nerve endings in the fingertip, it can be quite painful.
When doing a glucose test, using different parts of the body
such as the forearms and palms can reduce the pain during
testing. This method of testing with different parts of the body
is called Alternative Site Testing. While AST may reduce the
pain during testing, it may not be simple for everyone and the
following precautions should be observed during testing.
Alternative Sites for Testing
Alternative Site Blood Sampling (forearm, palm)
Select a clean, soft and fleshy sample site area free of visible
veins and hair and away from bones. Wash the area with soap
and water and dry thoroughly. Gently massage the sample site
with clean hands to help blood circulation to minimise result
differences between fingertip and alternative site sampling.
Firmly press and hold the lancing device against site. Wait
until the skin surface under the lancing device changes color.
Then press the release button while continuing to apply
pressure.Keepholdingthelancingdeviceagainstyourskin
until sufficient (at least 0.5 μL, actual size: ) blood is drawn.
Carefully lift the lancing device away from your skin.
Step 1
Unscrew lancing device tip.
Step 2
Place protective cover on lancet.
Push the lancet ejector forward with
the thumb to dispose of the used lancet
in a proper biohazard container.
Discarding Used Lancets
Caution: The lancet is for single use only. Never share or reuse
a lancet. Always dispose of lancets properly.

Note: Results from alternative site and fingertip samples
may differ from each other as there is a time lag for the
glucose levels to reach the same value. Use a fingertip for
testing if you suffer from hypoglycemia or have experienced
hypoglycemic shock or symptoms.
Note: If the sample drop of blood runs or spreads due to
contact with hair or with a line in your palm, do not use that
sample. Try puncturing again in a smoother area.
Things to Know When Using AST
Please read the following before testing at alternative sites
(forearms and palms).
The capillary whole blood of the fingertips reflects changes in
glucose levels more rapidly than in alternative sites. The test
results from the fingertip testing and AST may differ due to
factors such as lifestyle and ingested food which affect glucose
levels.
